Can selection to escape nectar thieving force plants to portion nectar in many flowers?
Acta Oecologica, 1999There are several hypotheses which try to explain why particular plants produce just the number of flowers that they do. These hypotheses include: compromises between the attraction of pollinators and avoiding self-pollination by geitonogamy; optimal nectar production as a result of diminishing gains of nectar production; opportunity for selective ...

Effect of Nectar Robbery on Phase Duration, Nectar Volume, and Pollination in a Protandrous Plant
International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2002We examined the effect of nectar robbery on phase duration of a natural population of Impatiens capensis Meerb. (Balsaminaceae), a species with protandrous flowers. We hypothesized that once robbed, a male‐phase flower should switch its sex from male to female because the probability that the flower would receive enough visits to disperse all its ...

We chose five easily propagated garden plants previously shown to be attractive to mosquitoes, ants or other insects and tested them for attractiveness to Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti. Long term imbibition was tested by survival on each plant species.

Plant–pollinator interaction model with separate pollen and nectar dynamics
Journal of Theoretical BiologyThe mutualism between plants and pollinators involves the exchange between plant resources and pollen dispersal services among con-specific plants. Since many pollinators are generalist foragers, the quality of pollination is compromised by inter-specific pollen transfer (IPT).

Optimal nectar production in a hummingbird pollinated plant
Theoretical Population Biology, 1981Abstract It is hypothesized that the average rate of nectar production per flower for a population of plants is such than an individual plant which possesses this rate has maximum fitness (i.e., is optimal). This basic hypothesis is used to develop predictions concerning nectar production in scarlet gilia ( Ipomopsis aggregata ), a hummingbird ...
